Please check the following blog http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/06/29/getting-lots-of-script-failed-to-run-alerts-wmi-probe-failed-execution-backward-compatibility-script-error.aspx Roger

I have seen this but does not reoslve the issue. Any other fix you have?

When executing the same query from wbemtest is fails with an error So most likely the error is in WMI and something in your WMI is broken. Generic failure is.... well.... generic. But that's what 40041001 really is. Try to look at this article to understand more about WMI errors: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394559(v=vs.85).aspx - it also points you at a T-Shooting utility. In many cases it can be a corrupt WMI repository, some DLL registration... or a bug in WMI, i.e. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2547244 or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2692929
